GitHub clone of RL Tiles + extra work!

I wanted tiles for a roguelike game. The RL tiles are great, but I wanted a few more things:

• Transparent background
• All the 2D tiles from both its NetHack set and its Dungeon Crawl set
• Metadata of (name → index) in JSON format
• Deduplication
• Decent ordering in the map (all monsters, all items, all dungeon features)

View the interactive tileset explorer here and then check out rltiles-2d.json and rltiles-2d.png.

Developiing

The .txt files seemed simple enough, and I couldn't figure out tools in tools/, so I wrote a small tool to do what I want.

Requirements

1. GraphicsMagick (brew install graphicsmagick or apt-get install graphicsmagick)
2. Node 0.10 or later

Building the tiles

1. npm install
2. ./build.coffee rltiles-2d.txt rltiles-2d.png rltiles-2d.json
